I had a perfectly peaceful lap swim workout last night. Not too crowded. No problem sharing lanes. But a couple days before, as I told SwimStud, I had a couple bad experiences. This was a new one. I'm in the locker room after my workout. I rested my swim bag and clothes and suit on a portion of a bench. A lady came up, shoved some of my stuff to the side (there was plenty of room), picked up my wet suit and dumped it on top of my dry clothes. I was shocked. Exactly who gave her permission to touch, move and trash my stuff?! She didn't even say a word or indicate that she needed even more room. Now, that is a real piece of work. I don't think anyone can defend that one.
Now I think of it the best way to get back at this would be to put your body into their space...get up close and dress and be in their way...it freaks most folks out...but you've got to be strong minded.
My pet hate is the unsupervised delinquents in the locker rooms or the showers. You know how tha shower is the reward for ahard swim...soaping up and stretching out enjoying a warm glow in your muscles...then in come a bunch of pre-teens shouting and having a waterfight or screeching in the shower...etc
